If you want 0.32 G it's probably because you're showing it
alongside other values >= 1 G, so you're really getting into
the business of letting the user choose the prefix.

The default should be 320 M, I think. (Unless it's a
capacitor value, where there's a long-standing convention
in some circles to use uF or pF, but never nF. :-)
